(Check out the link to the product landing page \u2013 from there you can go to the release notes to see the full region list.)<\/li><li>Veritas NetBackup support for <strong>Retention Lock<\/strong> with DD Boost 7.4.0.5 and higher. So, if you&#8217;re still backing up in the past with NetBackup, you&#8217;ll be able to apply some extra protection to it.<\/li><li>The REST APIs have been updated with more functions for setup and configuration usage.<\/li><li><strong>Security enhancements<\/strong> for certain operations on the filesystem have been enhanced.<\/li><li>Whoa! <strong>DDVE on Azure<\/strong> can now scale to <strong>256 TB<\/strong> as well. That&#8217;s Azure, AWS and GCP now all supporting 256 TB of DDVE. This represents an unparalleled economy of scale for deduplication storage in the public cloud! (Even at just 20:1 deduplication, a <em>256 TB<\/em> DDVE would hold <em>5 PB<\/em> of backups!)<\/li><li>DDVE on KVM now supports RedHat Enterprise Linux 7.6 and 8.0, and SuSE Linux 12 SP4\/15.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The hardware<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>If you&#8217;re using a <strong>high-availability<\/strong> (HA) system, upgrades have been sped up.<\/li><li>Support for <strong>8TB Shelf Migration<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;For compatible systems with DDOS 7.4, you&#8217;ll be able to perform a shelf-migration from smaller capacity drives. <\/li><li>The <strong>DD 6900<\/strong> has been updated to support a <strong>lower capacity start point<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;24 TB. (The previous entry point was 48 TB.) What&#8217;s more, you can do capacity increases in 12 TB increments on the system. This will be a real boon for businesses who know they&#8217;ll go beyond the maximum capacity of the DD3300 (32TB), but want to increase capacity in smaller units than a whole 60 TB disk pack.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can access the DDOS 7.4 documentation from the support landing page, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dell.com\/support\/home\/en-au\/product-support\/product\/dd-os-7.4\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">here<\/a><\/strong>.
